Using these hose clips is easy. Just place the clip around the hose where you need it and tighten it securely. Make sure the clip is centered on the hose for the best fit. When it comes to maintenance, since they're made of stainless steel, they're resistant to corrosion. But it's still a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear and tear, especially if you're riding in harsh conditions. If you notice any damage, replace the clip right away. Also, keep in mind that these clips are designed for specific hoses, so always use them with AS3 Performance or OEM hoses for the best results.
